Boston Bomber Gets Death Penalty
A Boston jury has sentenced Dzhokar Tsarnav to death.
[The jury refuted] his lawyers’ argument that he was pulled into the plot by his radicalized Muslim older brother and overcoming Massachusetts’ popular opposition to the death penalty.
Tsarnaev said nothing when the verdict was announced at about 3:30 p.m. He sat in his chair and swallowed. Several jury members wept as Judge George O’Toole thanked them for their service.
After he is formally sentenced by O’Toole, Tsarnaev will likely end up at the U.S. Bureau of Prison’s death row in Terra Haute, Indiana, where he is expected to embark on an appeals process that could last years before he is finally killed by lethal injection. At 21, he will become the youngest person on federal death row.

That’s whats up.
Suzanne McFly May 15th, 2015 at 16:27
Now we will have to see him every 2 years on appeals till the day the little bastard dies.
Khary A May 15th, 2015 at 16:28
I know it sticks in our craw here. When Law and Justice collide.
Suzanne McFly May 15th, 2015 at 16:39
If anyone deserves the death penalty, it is that punk but it has to hurt those he victimized to see him again and again.
Khary A May 15th, 2015 at 16:41
This thing has children’s blood on his hands. I understand due process but COME ON!!
Suzanne McFly May 15th, 2015 at 16:45
I am hoping someone just puts one between the eyes with no witnesses.
Khary A May 15th, 2015 at 16:57
I was just saying that someone is gonna Jack Ruby this guy.
Suzanne McFly May 15th, 2015 at 17:39
Good way to get rid of rubbish.
Gadea May 17th, 2015 at 19:36
Or Jeffrey Dahmer him.
Gadea May 15th, 2015 at 19:03
Nah, we’re not going to see this guy too much after this.
There might be handwringing from some.
But this guy will meet his maker sooner than later.
He’s out of here.
America welcomed him, offered him a good life and planted a bomb that killed humans.
He’s done for, no appeals going to help him.
whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 20:16
the place he would have been sentenced to life in was not going to be a picknick. a supermax fed. prison in CO. 23 hrs a day locked down, 4″ window, and you can only see the sky, so you have no idea where you are, 15 mins. a mo. for visits, and then some, for the rest of your “life” i’d rather be dead. death isn’t a punishment, it would be a relief.
Suzanne McFly May 17th, 2015 at 20:39
I hope Tsarnaev feels the same about his confinement.
whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 20:47
10 years maybe is what he’ll get before a death sentence is carried out. aside from the millions spent on trying to overturn the death sentence. its the same prison mcveigh would have been in, he had the right idea. fk it. kill me. life in a concrete cell, steel bed, 4″ windows, food through a hole, built so that prioners can’t even communicate with each other. nah. that’s not life in prison, that’s certain insanity. left and forgotten. no appeals. yep that’s worse than death.
Suzanne McFly May 18th, 2015 at 08:36
I completely agree, I would hate being alive and confined. May as well be dead. I feel Tsarnaev seems to be an ego maniac, he ran over his own brother to get away, he killed his own brother?!?! I think he likes attention and will keep doing appeals to keep his name and face out there. I hope I am wrong.
Gadea May 15th, 2015 at 16:49
Good.

Timothy McVeigh was convicted in 1997 for the murder
of 168 people in 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Timothy McVeigh executed by lethal injection June 11, 2001 (aged 33)
USP Terre Haute Terre Haute, Indiana, U.S.
Conviction to execution – 4 years.
Zann77 May 15th, 2015 at 18:05
But Timothy McVeigh refused to appeal his death sentence, I believe, so the process went much faster. Wont be the case with this one.
Gadea May 15th, 2015 at 18:06
This case was fast tracked.
Zann77 May 15th, 2015 at 18:07
Do you believe the appellation process will be similarly fast tracked? I’m not speaking of McVeigh’s trial; McVeigh refused to do anything that would delay execution.
Gadea May 15th, 2015 at 18:40
McVeigh did not refuse, he did begin an appeal process.
McVeigh stopped the appeal process.
Yes, I think that in the case of DT, his execution will be fast tracked, no matter what he does.
Gadea May 15th, 2015 at 18:08
Maybe you’re right and the Federal government will drag its feet. However, high profile cases like the TV and now this case, are fast tracked.
The Federal govenment wants to reach a conclusion, so there is a push.
Zann77 May 15th, 2015 at 18:11
Gadea, I was referring to the fact that McVeigh refused to appeal his death sentence. The appeals are what delay execution for decades. McVeigh wanted nothing to do with that. I’m suggesting that Tsarnaev will appeal and appeal and appeal.
tracey marie May 15th, 2015 at 18:24
facts do not matter to him
Gadea May 15th, 2015 at 18:38
Timothy McVeigh initially appealed his death sentence and then against the advice of his lawyers stopped the appeal. Because, according to the NYTIMES, McVeigh felt he could not win.
It’s not like McVeigh didn’t try, he did and then he gave up.
Regardless, Tsarnaev will meet his brother sooner rather than later. I think the government will execute him, despite all the hoops he goes through.
granpa.usthai May 16th, 2015 at 02:55
can’t execute somebody who has a headache. Ain’t humane to execute a ‘sick’ person. How’s he going to call the doctor in the morning if he’s dead?
Gadea May 15th, 2015 at 18:45
The U.S. was very good to Dzhokar Tsarnav and his family.
From a refugee camp to a good life in America, to university.
Tsarnav and his brother pay back the U.S. for rescuing them from a refugee camp,
by planting a bomb and killing innocent people.
I have zero sympathy for this guy, time he went to meet up with his brother.
I got a feeling, that no matter what his lawyers do, they will fail, just like they failed today.
This guy will die for planting a bomb and killing innocent people in the country that rescued his family and gave the a hand.

And try and explain that to a Progressive it’s like banging your head on a wall.
Bunya May 17th, 2015 at 01:40
I disagree. Dubya and the Dickster ordered, for profit, the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens, and their punishment is a perpetual platform on Fox “news” to opine how the black guy in the white house is responsible for all the unrest in the middle east. Interestingly enough, the American taxpayers paid the Bush administration’s “get rich quick” scheme.
You see, the presentation is the deciding factor on how something is perceived by the public. For example;
Killing to avenge Muslims = unAmerican! BAD
Killing Muslims and blaming invisible WMD’s = Patriotic! GOOD.
See how that works?
Gadea May 17th, 2015 at 15:56
Attorney General Loretta Lynch:
Death Penalty For Dzhokar Tsarnaev
Is ‘Fitting Punishment’.
I agree with her.
None of what you said justifies DT planting bombs in a America. If he didn’t like the U.S. way of conducting business, he could have given up his U.S. citizenship and gone home with his mother.
The choice he made resulted in this predictable outcome.
He could have had a nice life in the U.S.
The U.S. treats Chechens better than Russia does.
He made his choice.
My brother made me do it, defense didn’t fly.
Bunya May 18th, 2015 at 12:25
I’m not condoning his actions. I’m merely stating that Bush and Cheney ordered hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens murdered, for profit – not to mention the 4000+ soldiers who’ve lost their lives, and it’s “Move along. Nothing to see here.” Bush and Cheney literally got away with murder, and are now living their lives financially comfortably, trashing the sitting president every chance they get on Fox “News” for catastrophes they caused. No outrage and no screaming for the death penalty. They walked away scott free, but yet it seems “zero sympathy” doesn’t extend to American murderers who use the “whoops, we got caught” as their defense for killing.
.
I don’t agree with the Attorney General’s decision because I don’t support the death penalty. But then again, I’m not a republican conservative that believes, “life begins at conception, and ends at birth – preferably in a war for profit”.
Gadea May 18th, 2015 at 17:32
The decision of an American juror is not affected by American foreign policy.
greenfloyd May 15th, 2015 at 22:57
Believing an act of state-sponsored murder in any way results in justice is a dark fallacy that actually reduces all of us to the same brutal level as the perpetrator.
Um Cara May 16th, 2015 at 00:15
We are a barbaric nation. Shame on us all.
cecilia May 16th, 2015 at 00:36
dead thing walking
Chonko May 16th, 2015 at 00:58
And he gets to have all the sex he doesn’t want in prison while he waits. Action packed!
mcalleyboy May 16th, 2015 at 00:58
His moma will be upset that those evil Americans have now taken both her beloved son’s and she’s no longer accessible they left with their Mercedes Benz (lived off of social welfare) and now back in Kazakhstan, Putin says welcome to my nightmare and we question his regional tactics.
whatthe46 May 16th, 2015 at 03:28
how many Americans mama’s are upset about our American serial killers or our American, so called, “christians” that advocate for war and start war out of lies, that caused the death of thousands of innocent people? and thousands of our own American soldiers? shouldn’t the mothers of Iraq be upset about those evil Americans that has taken their loved ones away? shouldn’t the American mothers be upset about the murder of their military sons and daughter and mothers and fathers, that was based on nothing more than a lie? and we have more American (born) citizens on government assistant than the number of those “immigrants” living here.
mcalleyboy May 16th, 2015 at 04:32
But as an Immigrant (Philippines) I didn’t come here to hurt people, do you see the difference? And I’m required to have my own money, I cannot live off of Social Services, I’ll be deported. Man….why can’t Progressive see this or understand how badly we as Americans are being used, it’s like talking to a wall of no understanding.
Apocalypse May 16th, 2015 at 03:14
Killing as a means of vengeance reinforce the idea that that it’s OK to kill for vengance.
The Tsarnaev brothers believed they were avenging Muslims.
To make murder a societal taboo, the state should never break the taboo by implying that it’s OK to kill with the right justification.
As far as punishment, a life of solitary confinement would have been much worse than death.
whatthe46 May 16th, 2015 at 03:35
jeffery dahmer lucked out and was spared the DP because the state didn’t have it. his crime was more brutal than this asswipe. BTK, another serial killer, who by the way, was a “christian” was spared the DP because he took a deal. the DP makes no sense, on so many levels.
robert May 16th, 2015 at 04:44
works for me
living at supermax is going to get old real quick for the rolling stone poster boy
crc3 May 16th, 2015 at 10:48
The death penalty will change nothing. The verdict won’t bring the victims back either. Playing God by killing him is wrong regardless of what he did. He needs to spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement with pictures of the carnage he and his brother created. Let him suffer and rot a slow and agonizing rest of his miserable life….
